Crystal Report showing Poor quality Text Preview - c#

I am using Crystal report v13.0.4000.0 in my windows forms application in VS2019.
My Problem: Crystal report preview shows Pixelated poor-quality text at runtime. I'm wondering is it just like that OR is there any workaround for that. I have seen SSRS and RDLC
they show crystal clear text in the preview at runtime. Here are images for comparison:
Picture 1 : Preview at runtime
Picture 2 : Preview when viewing Crystal report viewer in VS2019 !
enter image description here
Both images are from the same VS2019 Project.
If anybody knows about this or even has an idea please share your thoughts.
Note : Above images contain truly Text Field. Printer report is Crisp and clear the problem is with the preview only why cant I get picture 2nd image quality in the preview.

Crystal renders content to the screen based on the capabilities of the default (or specified printer).
So Make sure the default/specified printer is capable, and that the printer driver is patched/recent.

Please clarify: are these truly text or are they images you are displaying inside Crystal?
If they are images, test the effect of setting the viewer's property of InterpolationMode to Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic

Textbox border becomes thicker after rendering RDLC report to pdf

I am making rdlc report and I am rendering it to pdf, but for some reason textboxs' borders become thicker after this process. More strange is that if I copy (only location and ZIndex properties change) one of the textboxes (which border becomes thicker) in another place, the border of copied textbox isn't thick.
This is the result.
This is problem only in Microsoft edge (while opening generated pdf file in it). My report looks nice in Opera and Google Chrome browsers. I tried to report this problem to Microsoft, but their web page told me that it wasn't able to identify I was person or not.. :)

.rdlc report on reportviewer not rendering the controls correctly

I have this report which I am recreating from access and it is not like a regular report with tables it actually uses a lot textboxes and rectangles, I figured if I kept the width of the report to 8.1 and length to 8.9 then i set all the margins to 0.1 so it print one page so that all good but when I place a textbox on the designer to where I want it to be then I run the report and see that they are placed else where soo why is it not rendering correctly is my question? is there an easier way to create an .rdlc report in Asp.net webform that I am unaware of?
Visual Studio 2008
Report Viewer 9.0
.Net 3.5
Shows up like this in the report viewer:
From your screenshots it seems that every control is smaller than its content.
Resize your textboxes or change font size; you can also modify Padding property to free some space. After this operation try setting CanGrow property to False for every control that don't need to grow vertically (i.e. multiline TextBox).
Also note that ASP.NET ReportViewer is not very good in displaying complicated reports; try export your report in PDF using the built-in functionality: if the result is better use LocalReport.Render Method to render it directly in PDF.

Crystal Report Viewer in full screen mode

I am using crystal report viewer to display reports on web page. Crystal report viewer covers only 2/3 area of web page on right bottom.
Now client demands for an option to view report in full screen mode. e.g there should be some toggle button etc which will perform full/normal view functionality.
Any help regarding this, will be appreciated.

Can the .net reportviewer control be fully operated by code only (ie., minus the toolbar)

Just started on a touchscreen based project that uses the reportviewer control. I will obviously be putting my own big buttons for report navigation , export to pdf etc since even people with tiny fingers will have a hard time clicking the out of box toolbar that comes with this control (see below screenshot). Can I do all of this from code
1) Show next / prev/first /last page of report
2) Show print dialog/page setup dialog/print layout
3) Export to pdf
Thats all we need for now. I am going thru the msdn samples meanwhile. Not yet found any code to do all that the toolbar shown does. thank you
Yes, you can. Assuming your application is Windows app, refer to ShowXXXXX properties of ReportViewer.

continous pages crystal report viewer

Can we have continuous viewing in Crystal Report Viewer, rather than clicking NextPage button ?
I am developing a win form application in C#.
No, not within the viewer control itself.
You can export to HTML as one, single page though. HTML can be a bit wacky on the formatting, but if you format you report very strictly in columns and stay with standard fonts, you get pretty good results.
